After I got my high-school diploma in 1999 I spent 6 months in the Finnish army before attending Helsinki Business polytechnic to study IT in 2001. The polytechnic was a bit too general for my taste, you learned a bit of everything without real possibilities to specialize in anything. Well, you could have specialized to something that I wasn't interested in. I wanted to learn more about design, and I took all the course related to the Internet.

Overall I found the education to be somewhat useful, although I don't think the Bachelors in Business administration will open too many doors for me. I've tried the past few years to get in to the School of Art and Design to study New Media and UI to no avail, maybe this year?

I've used photoshop since version 5.5, and I'd like to say I know it well. I also know (x)html and css by heart and do all my designs the old-fashioned way with textpad.

I know the basics of programming (Java, Php, Javascript and SQL) but I'm not a coder by any stretch of imagination. I also know the basics of Flash but I've mostly focused on static content and not RIA or flash-presentations. I've also used Vegas to edit videos and even produced a TV ad for my own e-commerce site.

I have quite a bit of experience with various scripts and implementing designs for them, such as Wordpress, Vbulletin, JMB soft products, Smart-scripts, sitedepth, MPA3 and custom backends.

So, what have I done online? My fulltime career started with this here site, Jester Designs. Before that I had found that Internet pornography pays well. Since I had ties to adult industry by the time I opened shop, I started to get clients from there. That's the reason my portfolio mainly houses adult sites. It's not a personal preference really, but who am I to turn a paying client down?

Aside from designs, I have also run dozens if not hundreds of adult sites from TGP's, to MGP's, free sites, linklists, paysites and even an affiliateprogram (Porngreen). I have also run a Finnish e-commerce sextoy site (Putiikki.net) which is now handled by a 3rd party as dropshipping. Non-adult projects include Blu-ray.fi ps3/movie review site as well as Tylsää.fi-flash games site.
